6. More Representation Is Always A Good Thing

Luke Cage received plenty of accolades when it released last year, and rightly so. Apart from the fact that it was a great series in and of itself, it was also predominantly led by an African American cast - a first for Marvel, particularly since the MCU kicked off in 2008.

Both Luke Cage and Wonder Woman illustrated, in no small way, that representation matters. Iron Fist didn't seem to get the memo, but still, now that Marvel have caught onto the fact that diversity is good for lots of different reasons, it would make sense that they'd green-light a project that would not only be led by women, but by women of colour too.

A Daughters of the Dragon series would be amazing for plenty of different reasons, but the fact that it would offer a truly diverse cast of characters has to be a key reason why.
